Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Tortelloni
  • Tagliatelle (or ravioli) with seasonal vegetables (or ragù)
  • Tiramisù

After a welcoming prosecco, we will prepare the traditional pasta dough by hand with a rolling pin, creating tagliatelle and tortelloni from our local tradition. You will learn how to make ragù the way it has been done in my family for generations. Next, we will make ricotta and parsley tortelloni, seasoned with butter and sage. We will also take some time to prepare a vegetable-based sauce with seasonal ingredients to dress the tagliatelle for those who prefer vegetarian cuisine. To end our experience on a sweet note, we will make Italy’s beloved dessert, tiramisù. At the end of the lesson, we will enjoy the dishes we've prepared together.

We had so much fun making lasagna with Federica! She made sure to give us a warm welcome and was always so kind to take us into her home. She even went so far as to send us the recipes so that we had them correct when we make them for our friends. We enjoyed getting to make everything homemade. It truly felt like an authentic Italian experience.

Frederica was so professional and still able to relate to my 15 and 16 year old granddaughters. We enjoyed learning and eating.

It was a pleasure to learn from Federica. We made the classic crescenta bolognese as well as a variety of different bruschette. I really enjoyed the evening and everything I learned. Federica is very kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

We had a great time at Federica's beautiful house overlooking the city. She's a very patient and attentive host, and the local tagliatelle we prepared together were amazing. I’ll definitely be back to learn more recipes!

We are so greatful that we had this experience. First of all, we did get lost and were late to our class, but Federica was exceptionally understanding and accommodating. Without any hesitation from Federica, we were able to continue our experience. Her home was very beautiful and I loved how we were greeted and taken onto the picturesque terrace for a drink first. (I'm sure she could tell I was flustered for being late and needed a drink from our walk to her home). I was there with my sister and my son and she taught us how to make lasanga. We are from the United States and sad to say, we know very little italian, but she communicated easily with us. I felt very comfortable with her and understood her well. I loved making this memory with my family, and we have already said when we go back home we will make this again! Thanks to Federica, we will be able to share our pasta making skills at home. Thank you very much for your hospitality and knowledge so we can continue to share with our family!❤️

The restoration of paintings and frescoes is my profession, but my true passion is cooking. The attention to detail required in my work is the same precision I bring to my handmade pasta—tagliatelle, lasagne, tortellini, and tortelloni—all rigorously prepared with fresh dough rolled by hand using a rolling pin. My specialty is ragù alla Bolognese, while for main courses, I love preparing traditional dishes from my region, Emilia-Romagna, such as roasts and meatballs. Vegetables are always present on my table, often with a touch of Neapolitan influence, which also inspires me to prepare some delicious seafood dishes. The view from my home, just outside the center of Bologna and near the Portico di San Luca, is simply breathtaking—I look forward to welcoming you to admire it together!
